Gold Filled Round Disc 15mm Stamping Blank

Description

This round, 14ct Gold Filled disc has a variety of uses, from a simple pendant or drop earrings to charm style bracelets, large jewellery tags and personalised engraved designs.

The disc features a pierced hole at the top, ready to be attached to your jewellery designs via a jump ring, or directly onto a chain or cord. The disc has a plain, polished finish on both sides, making it ideal for metal stamping.

Please note gold filled material MUST be stamped delicately with care, to prevent damaging the gold layer.

Gold filled jewellery is also known as rolled gold or gold bonded and is created by mechanically bonding a layer of gold to a layer of base metal – usually brass. The outer gold layer must be at least 1/20 of the overall metal content by weight. Therefore it makes a great alternative to gold plating, which is thinner and less durable. Unlike gold plated metal, gold filled can be soldered using 9ct or 14ct gold easy solder.

Measures approximately 15.00mm in diameter, with a 1.70mm diameter pierced hole. It has a thickness of approximately 0.80mm.

Sold individually.
